You’re just doing it to yourself at this point if you have any other alternative (obviously Android isn’t included in this). <b>zrn900 4 months ago | parent | next [–]</b> Their leadership is literally sh*tting on anyone by shutting down service after service in the faces of whoever made the mistake of building something on those services. They already lost their credibility it goes beyond that now - at this rate, they will attract the attention of the regulators: A gigantic monopoly controlling vast swaths of the internet and playing with people's money, time, businesses, and livelihoods like they are their pet projects... <b>bigstrat2003 4 months ago | root | parent | next [–]</b> Unless you mean that these leaders are taking their pants off and depositing feces on people, they are not "literally shitting on" anyone. They are figuratively shitting on people. <b>withinboredom 4 months ago | root | parent | prev | next [–]</b> Why-not-both.jpg [/quote][/quote]
